I apologize if you were hoping for something else to read today, however, I have some important words I want to share and while learning about working from home is what most of you are here for, I am sure that all of you can relate to this post in at least one way or another.

Today’s post has nothing to do with making money from home, or Internet Marketing or anything at all like that.

Today, I want to dedicate a post to my Grandma.  A lady who never asked for any recognition, and who never thought she was anything special.

Sometimes getting traffic to a website can leave you feeling like you have ran out of gas on an abandoned dirt road.  No one is coming by – and you feel like you are the only one who is actually seeing your site.

And unfortunately, without traffic, there really is no point to having a website.  If no one is visiting, and no one is seeing your offer, then it doesn’t matter what else you do – you won’t be making any money.  You can tweak your content, add fancy graphics, and offer free material for visitors – but if they aren’t finding you, then you are pretty much dead in the water.

So, what can you do?  There are paid options – such as PPC (Pay-Per-Click) through places like Google Adwords, Facebook or Bing, banner advertising on other sites, paying to have a solo ad go out on ezines…..the list goes on.

Well, the past few weeks have been a ride.  I have been feeling guilty for neglecting this blog in the madness of everything else I am trying to do – so the truth is, I actually posted the site for sale a couple of weeks ago.  It was a decision that was incredibly hard for me to do, because I have spent so much time building the site to this point.

But, I just felt I wasn’t giving it everything it deserved.  See, I was having a hard time knowing where to focus the site which led me to put off posting as a way to maybe avoid trying to decide where to go with it.

When I started this site, I had plans for it to be an “everything” site – including every possible way a mom could make money online.  And, for awhile, that was where it was going.

So – I have been a member of Bring the Fresh for a few months now and I have been busy putting all of the information they offer to work.  And, I have to say that I am starting to see results – slowly and steadily a couple of sites that I have put together with their strategies are moving up and hopefully soon, the income will increase.

I have to admit, there are some strategies that I wasn’t able to do to the extent that I would have liked.  Some of the things would have required a bit more money than I have available right now to automate – and the truth is, even though I have tried to the best of my ability to do everything I could on my own, there are just not enough hours in the day sometimes to do it all.

My overall impression of Bring the Fresh has been completely positive.  Kelly and Mike go above and beyond to help everyone – and the community that is inside the membership area is incredible.  I didn’t think it was possible to learn anything “truly” new in IM after being around for so long.  So often when you buy something it is rehashed material put into new words.

Today’s post shows you a quick little method that you can use to either make a little extra Christmas spending money, or else really get your feet wet with making a bit of money online. Now, I haven’t done this myself because the truth is, I just have WAY too much else on my plate right now – but for those of you just getting started online, this is a very good way to give you some cash to start making a bit of headway.

OK – for those who have already picked up the “Make Money with Fiverr” guide, you will likely be better acquainted with some of these things. (If you haven’t picked it up yet, you can get it here…..) You don’t need to have read the guide however – but it will give you some extra tips to get more work.

For those who don’t know what Fiverr is, it is a marketplace where people can go to have jobs done for just $5. And, there is everything you could imagine that people are offering to do for $5! There are writers who are just getting started who are building clientale by offering articles, there are graphic designers who make very good money because a lot of people use Fiverr for website graphics – and there are even people willing to do some strange things like draw your logo on themselves for a day.
